Goodbye 2012 ~ Hello 2013...

Oh, where have the last twelve months gone? They have just flown past!!! I can remember my parents saying that each year goes faster than the ones before it. Unfortunately, they were correct. The thing is, though, that I seem to have more I want to achieve each year... doesn't add up really, but one good thing is, I'll never be bored... LOL!!!

Here are some of my favourite projects from 2012. There's too many to show all my projects... way more than I completed in 2011. Click on the photo to take you to the actual project...

A year ago tomorrow, saw the first Threading YOUR Way with Threading My Way Link Party. Each of the 33 linkies, is ongoing, themed and open indefinitely. As I had hoped, these link parties have become a collection of resources, full of patterns, tutorials, inspiration and reviews. The Bags and Totes collection is the most popular, with 299 bags and totes added.

So, after a successful 2012, what do I hope to achieve in 2013?

Create at least one refashion, hopefully more, each month. Upcycling, recycling, reusing, repurposing, refashioning, whatever you care to call it, it's becoming trendy and more mainstream and that's a good thing.

Accept at least one challenge each month. I find online challenges a great way to meet other like minded bloggers, as well as a way to hone and extend my sewing skills. So far I've signed up for two in January.

Sew substantially more clothes for myself. One t-shirt and one scarf just won't cut it in 2013. You can hold me to that!!! That won't stop me from sewing for kids, though. I'll just have to find more hours in each day.

So very glad to have found you in 2012 and looking forward to more Threading My Way with YOU in 2013. Thanks for all the wonderful tutorials, Linkies, and Blogger Coding...it has made such a difference in CollectInTexas Gal. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, Pam! We have 10.5 hours to go, and I'm busy cooking for a big family lunch for tomorrow. My sewing machines will have to remain silent until Wednesday - I hope everybody has/had a very happy AND SAFE new year's eve and a wonderful 2013 :)
